Abstract
In an active pixel sensor cell, the blue response of the cell is balanced by utilizing a photodiode in lieu of a photogate, and the noise is reduced by quickly reading the voltage on a node, transferring the collected charge from the photodiode onto the node, and then again reading the voltage on the node.
